The Editor

The Editor
Interests include kidnapping, murder, and potpourri.
Occupation	Antagonist with the Syndicate

The Editor is the main antagonist of Jazzpunk. He works for the vague-but-sinister organization called the Syndicate. He "control[s] the Syndicate for the entire western sector."

Personality

The Editor has an air of pleasant aloofness to him, which makes his casual treatment of things like kidnapping and murder all the more terrifying. He's entitled, egotistical, and self-centered, which is his eventual undoing. He acts snobby at times, seeming to dislike speaking to people he deems below him.

Plot Relevance

He's absolutely distracted by your radiance.

The Director asks Polyblank to swap briefcases with a Syndicate man spotted in the resort. This man is the Editor, who is first met talking with someone about his plans.

At first, he seems to be fooled by Polyblank's disguise, but he reveals his true nature once the laced drink from the Lady in Red kicks in.

Upon waking up, a tracking implant had been put in one of Polyblank's teeth.

Bachelor Pad

Here, Polyblank's faces off against the Editor, who begins a series of challenges. Here, his smugness truly shows (especially if he wins a game), where even his attempts to be humble sound hollow. It culminates in inflating his ego, quite literally, and defeating him.

Trivia
